Near view of Tree-Hazel (S.P.I. No. 39907), Kansu, China. 



"The trunk cf a tree- hazel, Corylus thibetica ferox (Bat.) 

 Franch. , over 80 feet in height, with a girth of several 

 feet at the base. This hazelnut might be cultivated as a 

 nut-tree on stony mountain slopes; it can also be planted 

 as an ornamental park tree, while possibly it may also be 

 utilized in certain hybridization experiments in connection 

 with Corylus colurna , another tree-hazel." Photograph by
